PlayStation 5 future update could include godsend feature for single-player games

Unless a game already has the feature built-in, either because it’s part of the base game or because you’ve downloaded a mod, it’s not easy to replay specific scenes. Take the scene inMarvel’s Spider-Man2when we finally meet Venom – you might want to return to that cinematic cutscene without having to replay the game. Yes, there’s always YouTube, but it isn’t the same.

Honestly, it’s nice to see thePS5 getting a feature update that isn’t based on oneXbox has been using for years. Sometimes brands will copy one another, other times, they will innovate ahead of the competition; maybe Sony will be able to restore its former crown with such a cold patent as the one suggested.

Think of the update as a highlight reel, one you’re in control of. It’s a bold featureifSony can make it work. Although its patent details the intention, the specifics of getting it to work are left out. What is more, just because a patent has been filed doesn’t mean it’ll definitely be rolled out; much like Valve’s intendedNSFW hidden game feature, it’s a possibility, not a guarantee.

It’s unlikely such a move will savePS Plus from the slatingit’s been getting from its users, but that doesn’t mean this type of feature couldn’t score PlayStation some sweet profits after a less-than-ideal financial dip of 29 per cent.
